Newcastle are heading into this match in really poor form. They have lost four of their last five games, with just one draw and no wins, so they are clearly struggling at the moment. Liverpool are also having a tough time, but not quite as bad – they have drawn two and lost three of their last five, meaning they haven't won either, but have picked up a couple of points. Looking at recent meetings between these two teams, the games have often been full of goals. Out of their last five matches, four have seen three or more goals scored, including a 3-3 draw and a 4-1 win for one side.

This match looks very open to goals, but judging by the recent results, neither team can be considered a clear favorite for the win. Given both are winless in their last five games but Liverpool have at least drawn a couple, and considering Newcastle's worse run, Liverpool look slightly more likely to avoid defeat. A draw or a narrow Liverpool win seems the most probable outcome here.
